Mapel's 3 Year Anniversary SALE Event












Three Year Ago we opened Mapel Boutique in Leavenworth. It's been a long uphill course for Jenelle and I- and we've loved every minute of it. In hindsight we laugh about the moment when industry professionals refer to us directly as "those little girls with a dress shop", or when outside associates (in this case our landlord) bullies us unsuccessfully to re-defining our lease to suite his ever changing needs.












So instead of putting on some weight, wearing high heels and maturing into "women", Jenelle and I have stayed the course as "little girls with a dress shop" and laughed all the way to the bank. OK- we've not yet officially gotten "to the bank" but it's in sight and we feel accomplished, tenured and successful after 3 years.

Oktoberfest '10 Highlights

 


\








We began the weekend by making sure we had everything on our Oktoberfest checklist....Lederhosen - check! Dirndl - check! Crazy bavarian hats - check! Big stein of beer - check! The 2nd weekend of O'fest was just as fun as the first - especially because my two best'ies  -Jackie and Jaime - came to L to help out at Mapel and enjoy the festivities!
 My famous aunt Heidi Kuhn (aka Heidi Klum) also had her best-ies with her this weekend - those girls looked adorable in their "rock out with your brat out" Mapel tees and cute fall hats (also from Mapel...)




 We tent-hopped throughout the evening to enjoy all the different genres of music and activities Oktoberfest had to offer. 









Dinner at South was a MUST following a fun yet exhausting day at the shop!
And it wouldn't be Oktoberfest in my house without Elmo doing the chicken dance with Cora several hundred times per day.

Lovin' the Lederhosen....

Alright, I admit it.  I am using this week's blog to show off the latest pics of my daughter.  BUT it is related to this month's blog theme "Oktoberfest".  Staci and I have been working crazy long hours during this festive month in Leavenworth, so at about midnight last night I asked my hubby to (once again) help Mapel out by writing this week's blog about lederhosen.  He quickly informed me that writing a blog reminded him too much of being in school and having papers to write - a dreaded task that he hopes to leave in the past.  Fine.  I'll write about lederhosen myself. 


If you follow Mapel's blog (and who doesn't?!), then you already know that my hubby, Torrey, is OBSESSED with these fine leather pants/shorts suspender-combos called "lederhosen". He has accumulated quite the selection of various sizes, colors, and styles. This time of year, he sells them online and in Mapel, and you might be surprised by how many men are willing to pay $120 - $140 for a pair of 'hosen.



 In addition to selling pieces from his "collection", Torrey also loans out the leder to friends/family that visit us in Leavenworth. Most of them eagerly agree to pose as bavarians for a day or so. He also insists on dressing our 1 year-old daughter, Cora in lady'hosen during O'fest. It sort of makes her look like a little boy from the early 19th century, but I love it! Cora is proving that she can pull off individual style at a young age.
